WA rock band group Eskimo Joe are working on a new album, but they’ve also asked for their fans to help pay for it.

In a new trend called “Crowd sourcing” musicians ask their fans to chip-in to make their music. They're asking for $40-thousand dollars by February to pay for a top producer to make their sixth album. The band offers rewards depending on the amount of money pledged by the fan.

Joel Quartermain plays guitar and drums for Eskimo Joe and joined Geoff Hutchison on mornings.
